The article discusses a possible U.S. maritime security agreement (MSA) with Cuba, particularly in light of the need to deal with transnational criminal organizations (TCOs) such as drug-trafficking groups in the eastern Caribbean. Topics include problems with mass migration and human smuggling in the area, a U.S. trade embargo against Cuba in relation to U.S. national security, and the impact of the U.S. Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 (FAA).

Abstract

This article focuses on a military injustice in Guantanamo, Cuba in which Captain James Yee, the former Muslim chaplain had been arrested on suspicion of espionage but six months later the charges were dropped. Military officials insist that the persecution was halted only to keep sensitive information from becoming public. However, what they are really trying to hide from view is not national security secrets, but the incompetence and mean-spiritedness of their prosecution. Captain Yee was arrested last September after inspectors found what they claimed were suspicious paper in his luggage.
